DRY SPELL
LENNE CHAI (SG) FT. BGOURD
Kids, let's learn how to stop the rain! Armed with nothing more than a chilli, an onion and a satay stick, children and adults alike can learn this age-old secret via Lenne Chai's "Chilli Party" - an absurd, outrageous mash-up of children's educational programmes, folklore and rap.
The show is inspired by the indigenous practice commonly known as Chilli Bawang – a practice still very much alive and used today in film productions, events and even Formula One races – and educational children's programs such as Sesame Street.
Follow Chilli Buddy (played by Theodora Lee) and her crew of vegetable friends as they investigate various ways to stop the rain, while dancing along to local rapper BGourd's performance of his original rap track, "Why Bother Cloud Seeding".
